OK Crackerby starring Burl Ives (1965)

2 comments:

A legendary mid-1960s sitcom flop. Had a great pedigree, though -- co-created by TV Guide reviewer/cat-book author Cleveland Amory and "Guys & Dolls"/"How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" librettist Abe Burrows, Jim's dad (Abe also created the radio comedy classic "Duffy's Tavern").
